Outdated food in an outstanding interior
Overall, disappointing: you can try more interesting and unusual dishes with better quality for the same or even cheaper prices (WRF/Pinsky/Lucky group restaurants holdings). Menu focuses on Pan-Asian cuisine, so here you can try different Asian dishes. Appetizers are rather good - hand rolls are better than oshizushi. Main dishes were totally disappointing: octopus is really awful veeeery small portion of it, which is no cool. The most popular main dishes which were recommended by the waiter is duck was ok, but it tastes like regular duck which you can cook by yourself. And, of course, overpriced compared to the meals quality.
Cocktails are very average - there are classic ones and four signatures. We’ve tried all of signature cocktails (all of them were based on sparkling) - ok, but nothing special and extremely interesting.
Interior is really perfect: beautiful walls and ceiling with a wonderful decor - it will definitely not leave you indifferent! A giant pleasure to be inside this place.
Staff is very average - not extremely professional as it could be in this level of restaurant.
So, it’s good to impress tourists, but not for gastro enthusiasts.
A group of obnoxious and impolite staff immediately targeted my mom, a hijabi, as soon as they saw our family of five. They started pointing out that her style of hijab wasn’t allowed. After we responded and adjusted her look to match their perception, they stopped us just before entering the dining hall and turned to my youngest teen brother, saying ‘No’ to his hoodie! This was such an unprofessional attitude. What’s worse is that we were really excited about the experience, but the behavior of the manager was outright racist. When my dad confronted him, insisting that my brother should not be excluded, the manager literally said, 'No, you can leave.'
It’s ironic that they position themselves as a ‘modern, artistic Russian restaurant’ while acting like medieval savages. Not to mention, they clearly lack understanding of other cultures and fail to emphasize the importance of a polite and welcoming staff, especially the manager himself."
Несмотря на бронирование, нас не пустили. Людей в платках нельзя пускать! Какое жалкое и позорное руководство!! Я бы даже не подошла к нему… (Despite making a reservation, we were not allowed in. People with headscarves should not be allowed in! What a pathetic and disgraceful management!! I would not even go in front of it…)
